A representative for EzriCare has said that testing So Far has not definitively linked the outbreak to their products.
" To The Greatest extent possible, we have been contacting customers to advise them against continued use of The Product , "
" We also immediately reached out to both CDC and FDA and indicated our willingness to cooperate with any requests they have of us. "
The CDC said that anyone who has used the recalled products and are now experiencing symptoms should contact a doctor.
Symptoms include yellow, green, or clear discharge from The Eye , discomfort or pain, redness, blurry vision and increase sensitivity to light.
Last week, the FDA published separate for some eyedrop products distributed by Pharmedica and Apotex after the companies said they voluntarily pulled them from shelves.
